Title: Electronic anisotropy in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene

Abstract: Due to its potential connection with nematicity, electronic anisotropy has been the subject of intense research effort on a wide variety of material platforms. The emergence of spatial anisotropy not only offers a characterization of material properties of metallic phases, which cannot be accessed via conventional transport techniques, but it also provides a unique window into the interplay between Coulomb interaction and broken symmetry underlying the electronic order. In this work, we utilize a new scheme of angle-resolved transport measurement (ARTM) to characterize electron anisotropy in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene. By analyzing the dependence of spatial anisotropy on moir\'e band filling, temperature and twist angle, we establish the first experimental link between electron anisotropy and the cascade phenomenon, where Coulomb interaction drives a number of isospin transitions near commensurate band fillings. Furthermore, we report the coexistence between electron anisotropy and a novel electronic order that breaks both parity and time reversal symmetry. Combined, the link between electron anisotropy, cascade phenomenon and PT-symmetry breaking sheds new light onto the nature of electronic order in magic-angle graphene moir\'e systems.
